20 all whom it may concern:

Be lit known that I, ARTHUR EDWARD SMITHDA'LE, engineer, residing atAde, Norfolk, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Shade or Globe Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

The method of securing shades or globes to inverted gas burners atpresent in use and of the type wherein upper flanged extremity of theshade or globe enters a cupshaped or hemispherical body wherein it isretained by set screws, is open to the grave disadvantage that when theshade or globe expands by heat and also the set screws (in the reversedirection or against the shade or globe) the latter is frequentlycracked and rendered useless.

Now the object of the resent invention is to provide simple and e cientmeans whereby a shade or globe may be quickly and easily attached ordetached and of such a nature as to allow for or counteract theexpansion of the said shade or globe.

In order that this invention may be fully understood, it, will now bedescribed with.

reference to the accompanying drawings in which I Figure 1 is e sideelevation of p'art ot a burner having this invention applied time to,and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan taken on line a" w (Fig.1).

In carrying this invention into practical effect, and as shown, withinthe cup shaped or hemispherical body a a divided beam or ban-1 b ofsuitable flexible material is riveted or suitably secured as at 0 at apoint approximately opposite its divided extremities which are bentoutward at d at orabout right angles to the band Z) and passed through aslot or slots 0 formed in the side of the said body a. A series ofapertures e is provided around the periphery of the cup a, at its" lowerpart, for the escape of the roducts of combustion, and the lugs (2proect through two of these apertures. To these extremities (Z arms or,rods are suitably secured, the arm or rod from one extremity. passingthrough a hole or perforation in the other extremity andvice versa sothat by pressing these two arms f toget-her by gripping them between thethumb and finger, the ends of the band or rim 6 are forced apart, soexpanding the said band or rim to admit of the globe or shade g (Fig.1), which when the said arms are released, is gripped and held inposition by the said band or rim 1). It is obvious that the meansemployed for expanding the said band or rim for releasing the globe orshade may be varied considerably without departing from the spirit ofthisinfven-tion. v

l-Iaving now described my invention,what I claini'as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

in a shade'holder, the combination, with a supporting cup having lateralholes, of a spring loop secured to one side of the cupv
